[split] Hello everyone

[Chili]

My name is Lambert and this is my first post here. I used to frequent the Internet Infidels and kind of learned what atheist are all about.

So I am a Catholic and I always thought that they never become an atheist but just quit going to church. Does that make sense to anyone here?

Hello!

It doesn't make sense to me, since I was a Catholic. I pretty much turned my back on religion when I was still a child. It didn't interest me and all the services did was bore me to pieces.

I agree that Catholic doctrine is more liberal and flexibel than say evangelical christianity, but it's still the same bible. A book that never made any sense to me.

Anyway, glad to see a catholic made it here. We already have enough evangelicals and it's probably refreshing to get another christian viewpoint.

Ok, but it is not true that Catholicism is bible based other than to serve as the negative stand against which liberation is found. The same is true in Judaism where the Torah of tradition will yield while the written Torah does not, which then is where Orthodoxy has no graphics (doxography) of it's own lest paradox become the deceiver among.

You know what. Lambert.

Let's take this discussion to a different thread as rexbecca said. This goes way beyond what the introduction section is for.

Sure I have no problem with that. I just made a simple statement that Catholics have nothing invested in their religion and just quit going to church when they know enough. That's all, and then just stay home with no hard feelings about it. Cf theist and a-theist is other than that.

Take it where you like but please know that I am never protagonist here.
